Washington and Lee U. students theaten “civil disobedience” if diversity demands not met
Want Acknowledgement of Gen. Lee’s “Racist”, “Dishonorable” Conduct!
Student groups seem to be getting more aggressive when it comes to making demands related to “diversity”.
We reported that University of Michigan and Dartmouth students threatened “physical action” if their demands were not met. Now, students at a Virginia institution say they are planning “civil disobedience.”
A group of seven multiracial Washington and Lee University (W&L) students are demanding the school remove all Confederate flags from campus and “acknowledge” General Robert E. Lee’s “dishonorable side.”
According to the Roanoke Times, “seven multiracial students, calling themselves ‘The Committee,'” have also demanded the school “acknowledge and apologize for participating in chattel slavery.” They want recognition of “Martin Luther King Jr. Day on the undergraduate campus” and an end to “neo-Confederates” marching across campus “to the Lee Chapel on Lee-Jackson Day.”
The students say they will “engage in civil disobedience” if their demands are not met by September 1st.
They added: “The time has come for us, as students, to ask that the university hold itself responsible for its past and present dishonorable conduct and for the racist and dishonorable conduct of Robert E. Lee.”

Kinda makes you wonder why thy chose W and L to begin with. Maybe they should find another school.
Indeed. The school should expel them and that will put an end to that kind of crap.
As long as these administrators to not exact consequences for any actions, then the actions will continue. Expel them and get back to work.

Too much time on their hands. I wonder what their grades are like. Why apply to and accept admission from this school? What is being taught there?
